Tractor museums in NW Wisconsin

Leaving at the end of this week to go stay at a cabin on a lake North of Eau Claire for a week or so. We are planning on visiting some in-laws while we are there, as well as seeing some of the sights. I was thinking of visiting the Leinenkugels Brewery for a day or five, but was wondering what else, mainly in the form of farm machinery, there is to see. Any of you guys from up around there know of anything if we have some spare time? We were planning on doing some fishing up there, but with the late spring we think the ice may be too thin this time of year. :)
 
You should have been here for the opener... there was still ice then! A cabin on a lake north of Eau Claire... would that be the Holcomb flowage? That's only 20 miles or so from me.
From Leinenkugel's, you're close to Carsen Park. They have some ag and logging displays...not a lot of machinery, but interesting. There may also something at Irvine Park, but I can't remember. That's within walking distance of Leinenkugel's. There's some machinery at the Rusk Co. Historical Society (Rusk Co. fair grounds in Ladysmith), but not a big display. More there to see during the fair when they have a small show, inviting anyone who wants to bring in old tractors and equipment. There's also a collector in Ladysmith who has a shed full of restored plows, mainly JD and IH, but I can't think of his name right now.
 
I guess I was kind of vague there. We will be in Chetek. I have visited the museum in Cameron, Barron County Historical IIRC. If you're bored get ahold of me and stop over for coffee sometime if you want. I think the E-mail is open.
